HORSE TALK.

Make a harness fit properly and
a horse can wear it without dis
tress, provided that it is also kept
decently clean and comfortably soft
Plenty OF rubbing will produce a
coat on your horse. "Elbow grease
opens the pores, softens the skin
and promotes the general health.
Farmers horses are too often neg
lected in the cleaning of the skin
and hair.
Good, strong horses will last the
longer and do more work on the
same food than the lighter ones
which work OIL nerve and ambition.
1t takes less wear and tear to 60 to
market once with a big load, than
to go twice. Time is saved. Our
experience commends large team.
In riding on the saddle keep the
knees and thighs we'll to the saddle
and the toes straight with the horse
and not pointed out, thus adding
to the security Of your seat in case
of sudden plunge Of your horse.
Diseases are often communicated
by feeding horses in stalls which
have been occupied previously by
diseased animals. Such stalls
should first be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected. To do this, take
a pint of sulphuric acid and put 1t
IN O bucket OF water. Then, with
an old mop, wash all parts of the
stall, especially the trough or
manger. All stalls should be oc-
casionally so disinfected, as their
constant use permits them to grad
ually become unfit abodes Of the
animals.-Americdn Farmer.

On the 18th Of MAY, 1887, the Balti-
more Sun will celebrate its fiftieth ami
yersary. From the earliest period OF its
career the Sun has been "household
word in the homes of its subscribers, aud
a synonym for accuracy Of statement, fair
dealing, promptness, energy and enter
prise in the collection of news. IL Is noted
throughout the country for the indepen-
dence, conservatism and thoughtfulnes OF
it, editorial utterances. There IS probably
no newspaper in the United States whose
opinion carries more weight or whose in
huence IL more widely extended than the
Suns, fact upon which II may Justly
pride itself as the legitimate result OF
painstaklng care in the preparation Of Oil
matter admitted TO its columns. The
Suns facilities for collecting news from
ell quarters of the globe are being con
stantly extended and improved, and new
features are added without regard to ex-
pense as the occasion demands.
The Baltimore Weekly Sun has long
occupied an enviable position as model
family newspaper, containing not only the
news Of the world and variety of literary
matter and miscellaneous reading for the
family circle, but special features of recog-
nized value, including an agricultural de-
partment, which supplies every week a
mass of well-digested information for
the farmer.
Full commercial, financial, cotton, cat
tie market and stock reports up the hour
of going to press.
Terms Of subscription By mail, lnvaribly
cash in advance. Postage on all subscnp-
tions In the United States and Canada

ATaTrillG Surgical Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.

80 THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 25d, 1888, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that n Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangcment of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indcscrlbable dis
trcss in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
cold Precipitation. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. enfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosavc hepatient's
life On operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1889, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwcll Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in LAYING open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an cxamin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have n cancer
When too late the medical men
discover That they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband Of this
poor woman 10 know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical operation that ought
never TO iiayc been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia

this was what the disease really
was), she would have been Gv-

pressly for DYSPEPSIA or lndi-
gestion, has rc,torcd many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too volwnirous to be

OUR WEALTHY MEN.

Much has been said in newspapers of men
who have made large fortunes in comparatively
few years in various business INDUSTRIES
Many of these articles are written by cores
pondents of prominent newspapers, and copied
into others of lesser note. Correspondents
generally are seldom men of business qualitca-
tons and wrongfully picture these men and
their business as q thing of accident: this is not
the case with those we have met. We find that
where men have made largo fortunes by their
own business talent and industry they chose
with sagacty and forethought such businesses
as would lead to success when handled with
business Judgment. No man has been brought be-
fore the public as an example OF success, bot h
in wealth and magnitude of his business (out-
